I have recently transitioned my 5mo from 4 to 3 naps (she only takes 30 min naps and was awake for 2 hours) she is now doing 45 min naps and is awake for 2.15/2.30 depending on the time of day but since she’s gone down to three naps she has started waking between 5 and 6 am whereas before she woke around 7am.
she started sleeping all the way through the night and now she wakes twice and is extremely fidgety resulting in me having to get up every 20/30 mins to settle her again by holding arms down or putting my hand on her chest.
does anyone have any advise on how to help her sleep better as I can’t keep not sleeping and some nights my partner is working so he can’t help.
this has also come straight after her 3rd set of vacations so I don’t know if it is the nap transition or vaccinations or if she is just teething right now.
(she also can only be rocked to sleep and won’t nap unless it’s a contact nap but at night goes down in the cot very easily after being rocked to sleep)
